A post on the Crysis 2 Ea Blog alerts us to a new patch for the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo. A few “welcome” changes in the list, the most important being the un-consolification of the demo, by changing the text on the first screen from “Press start to begin” to “Press enter to begin. ” Also, now the servers show no ping at all. Nice work guys.

The patch will auto-update the next time you launch the game, and will also be pushed out via Steam.

“Press Start to Begin” has been changed to “Press Enter to Begin” on the main menu

Ping changes in server browser – no ping for anyone now (all 0)

Fixed crash if getting force disconnected from a dedicated server (although the force disconnect issue has been resolved anyway)

Account creation now works properly

G35 headset fix now implemented

People not able to sign in with certain characters such as “-“ or “numbers” in their username, now can

The servers for this multiplayer demo will only be active for another week, so if you’re planning on checking it out, now’s the time.

I have been involved in both computers and video games since a very young age, cutting my teeth (literally) on an Apple IIe and an Intellivision. I've been writing about both for fun, off and on throughout the years, which eventually led me here -- still playing games and casually writing about them off an on.
